Substrate Compatibility
Can I Use UV DTF Transfers on Cotton/Poly Blend (50/50)?
UV DTF transfers are not compatible with 50/50 cotton/poly blend fabrics. Like all woven and knit textiles, the flexible fiber structure prevents the UV-cured adhesive from achieving durable adhesion.
Why This Combination Does Not Work
UV DTF requires a rigid non-porous surface. Textile fabrics cannot accept UV DTF adhesive.
Use This Instead
UV DTF is designed exclusively for rigid, non-porous hard goods. Standard DTF is the correct and highly effective choice for 50/50 blends.
